Founded in 1976 by David Schecter, Schecter Guitars Research is an American guitar maker that started by producing guitar parts. Crafted mainly in the United States and in Korea, Schecter guitars have been seen in the hands of musicians such as Pete Townshend, Prince, Mark Knopfler and Jeff Loomis. The quality of the Korean production is akin to that of many American or Japanese ones. Quite metal-oriented, Schecter guitars have earned a completely legitimate fame thanks to great build-quality, original designs and very typical tones.There's no point in pretending: Schecter Solo's Solo II Custom is a take on a Les Paul by Schecter. A mahogany body and set neck, an ebony fingerboard, 22 frets X-jumbo, two PAF-like humbuckers, a Tune O Matic bridge, locking tuners: this describes it without summarizing it. Because in reality, the quality of finish is superb, the tone is gigantic, versatility is allowed thanks to coil splitting, and the compensated nut and radius add precision. In fact, it's the classic revisited, at an affordable price, with all the brand's know-how.
